Hi,

The front mudguard was peeling badly so have started to sand it down. Very hard lacquer by the way. Does anyone know of someone who does the refinishing? Last sanding and then re lacquer . Don't want to lost the bimota bit on the bottom though.

Never ends with a bimota does it?

Thanks
Duncan

use 1200 wet and dry and then respray with clear lacquer, repeat a couple of times then leave it to really harden - a week or so and then Tcut and polish - you can get an excellent finish but it takes patience!

The mudgaurds weren't laquered as standard.

Take it to a sprayer and get it done in 2 pack, they'll polish it after as well.
